🌿 It's a simple little game, you walk for ~2min in the wood, and can stop to listen to bird songs if you want to :).
🐦 If you don't hear the footstep or birds song, you can turn up the volume 🐦 ###
- Had some help with code from @brother-main, and followed Shaun Spalding's tutorial. - Used photoshop and aseprite for visuals and animations. - Used audacity and a good walk in the forest on sunday for the sound.
Beautiful little interactive walking-toy. If I weere you, I would consider how to make this more of a game than a toy, because the aesthetics and the mood is absolutely great. The sound was very low in volume, they should be a lot louder. As this is your first steps into solo projects, how fitting it is to make a little interactive toy about walking :smiley:. The artwork is so cute!
Obviously the art is gorgeous, but the sound design is nice too ! :) Congratulations. It’s a very chill and nice experience after playing loud and fast games all evening haha. Is Brother-main you mention a speed runner ? I heard this name when I was watching speed runs x)
@DotSquare thanks, this mean the world to me, i never thought i would find myself recording my step in the forest with my phone, but here we are, Gamejam really make us go out of our comfort zone haha so glad it paid off ! As for Brother-Main, He is a speedrunner yeah :) are you french ? :o because i would be surprised (in a good way) if he is known out of france but i'm glad his name ring a bell to you, made my day ! ♥
@tori Oui je suis français ;) Je regardais pas mal l’Ultime décathlon c’est de là que je le connais. En tout cas super ton petit jeu; les graphismes sont magnifiques bravo :)
@DotSquare hey bha, merci encore ! c'est incroyable comme coïncidence, j'était dans l'ud au tout début (au graphisme principalement) et ça me fait toujours très plaisir de rencontrer des gens qui ont suivis le projet !
Awesome art, I love the sfx. reminds me of a book style game, this would be perfect for a learning game! or relaxation alternative. Not all games need action Great Work!!!
It looks really great. I can't hear any sounds though....I think it is something with the laptop I'm on because with some games there is just no sound. Wish i could have heard the sounds.
I almost thought I was gonna be exploring in an endless loop of pretty scenarios, but I finished! I think it would have been nice if there was a little story to go along as we explore. I didn't really feel any "stuck in a loop" theme going on unless the "stuck in the loop" was listening to the birds. Beautiful art and scenarios. Nice side-scrolling gameplay too, but like I said before, I think it would have been nice if there was a little story to go along as we explore. Nice job :)
Beautiful and relaxing game! While it's a bit lacking in terms of gameplay, it's still nice to walk along the bushes and enjoy the sound of birds. I loved the attention to detail like how many different bushes there are, and how the character looks up and daydreams when I stop moving. Good job on this entry, the game is very simple but still impressive for a solo submission, good job!
PS: Only french keyboards use ZQSD, so it would have been nice to be able to move with A and D for most people here, I think :smile:
I loved the relaxing and inmersive atmosphere. Thank you!
Little things I missed:
- A full screen mode would have added even more to the inmersion. - The volume was too low, but enjoyable though ;-) - Just out of curiosity, on a second "run" I went to the left to see if there was any "easter egg" o "bad ending" xDD but the character got stuck and I couldn't get here out. - As someone already pointed out, the theme "stuck in a loop" is barely touched ^^U
Other than that, thank you again for sharing this experience with us ;-)
Very pretty! My only complaint is that some background layers scrolled faster than some foreground ones, which looked rather trippy. Overall, it's super adorable, and very relaxing. Great job all around!

The atmosphere of an autumn walk is felt.
I like it!
i'm so glad the word "cosy" is used to describe this little game, it really make me happy

Only thing in animation that bugged me is shoulder movement, it seemed a bit exaggerated for a character whose hands are in pockets.
Beautiful art and scenarios. Nice side-scrolling gameplay too, but like I said before, I think it would have been nice if there was a little story to go along as we explore.
Nice job :)
